Kingsman: The Secret Service
8/10
I've no idea what I had expected going into this movie, but for some reason I had expected something closer to Get Smart rather than a more serious spy comedy. Kingsman was actually surprisingly good.
The Book of Life
9/10
Watched this with the kids this weekend. I wasn't particularly interested in watching it until I saw Guillermo del Toro's name roll by in the opening credits, at which point I figured I had to watch. And you know what? This is a great movie. Okay, the plot is rather formulaic and predictable, but the visual design is breathtaking. It's very unique, extremely colourful and just overall some of the best animation I've seen in a long time. The integration of modern music into the movie worked quite well, especially considering the time period it was set in. Reminded me slightly of Moulin Rouge in that sense.
Would highly recommend.
